Well dunno if it's the greatest, but one of the best for sure.

You'd figure out a way to slow the game down and play defensive. This I find immensely boring but hey what the heck it's good exercise for the youth of America.

It's not all Italian football that's played my friend.
It's definitely possible to make up for an early 2 goal deficit and in the end baseball can be about a few or even 1 point difference as well. Do keep in my mind that a football match is much shorter in time than a baseball match. Never done the math but I wouldnt be surprised if the no of points/goal per hour wouldnt differentiate much.

Played it for years, love watching it, had a great time when the world cup was played in the Netherlands this year and we finally got some baseball on tv.
I also love watching football (and cycling, ice-skating, tennis and the occasional motorsports for that matter
), the fact that you think thats boring maybe just means you dont fully appreciate it's intricacies like you do baseballs. So I;d say just give football a chance and you might even get hooked on another sport as well. Provided you watch a decent match of course so none of that US competition [
